Great Value!

I researched several generators and decided on the iGen 2500 Westinghouse for its features and price. I am very happy with the purchase. The generator is very quiet and met my expectations based on the data and research I did. It also comes with oil and a funnel, so that is a nice bonus. I plan to use this for running my CPAP over night at the hunting shack, so I'm looking forward to seeing how long it will run on one tank. They advertised a free cover if you registered it after the purchase, but they said they are all out, so I was just a bit disappointed in that.

Nice features

The Westinghouse iGen2500 is not whisper quiet but is much quieter than my old 7500 model. I like the high efficiency mode as it runs a lot quieter with smaller loads. I like the built in display showing various modes. The supplied screw in oil funnel is a nice feature as well. After adding the supplied oil and required fuel, it started with just a few pulls. This is a good size. Any bigger and it would require wheels or a dolly.

Solid unit with power to spare

I bought this generator a month ago to deal with anticipated power outages. Luckily I wasn't faced with any so the unit is still in new condition. I sized it to handle my boiler primarily but it can also handle my entertainment center (FiOS cable boxes, router, modem, TV) as well as some lights. I'm considering having a transfer switch installed so I can choose other circuits to power in case I need to run an AC or refrigerator instead of the boiler.

Power in a portable package

Nice, quiet generator in an easily portable format. The only issue I had with it is that it wouldn't start on initial set up out of the box and seemed flooded, but once I got it started with a small spray of starting fluid to the air filter, it now starts on 1 or 2 pulls. I also like the digital display.

Small and quiet

I bought the 2200 a few months ago, and love it. I have put 20 hours on it with no issues at all. This one (the 2500) just got unpacked today and ran with a break-in load for about an hour. Seems fine so far! Almost the same outer dimensions as the 2200, but just a shade louder likely due to the larger engine. Still pretty quiet. Now, I'm getting the synch cables to run them both together.

Perfect size and power output

I just received it a few days ago, and got it up and running. Pretty quiet, although I don’t have a lot of experience with other Inverter-Generators to make a vis-a-vis comparison. But before purchasing, I did a lot of research and this one was rated highly on Consumer Reports, as well as customer reviews. The only things I wish this had is an hour meter and a couple more USB ports (only has 2).

Insurance During Fire Season

Unfortunately here in California "Planned Power Outages" during "Wind Events" and "Fire Weather" has become common place. While I have a larger generator at my home, I purchased this one for my daughter and son-in-law who live in a townhome. The size is perfect to fit on their second floor balcony. Plenty of power to run their refrigerator, lights and home electronics plus keep their phones, etc. charged up. The unit is quiet enough so as not to be obtrusive to their neighbors, lite enough to move easily and small enough to store in an out of the way spot. The long run time means they don't have to keep a large amount of gas on hand. Set up was fast and easy with everything you need included in the box. Have only run it for the break in period so far but am impressed with the quick starts and quiet operation. I researched several similar units and the feedback on this generator was very good. The 3 year warranty is also a plus. If you looking for a small, quiet, inverter generator for camping or just for those unexpected/or planned blackouts this is a great choice.

Would recommend

I just got this a week ago and so far I love it. It’s my second Westinghouse generator and the new features are great. It has a digital display that shows fuel capacity and run time. Started on first pull out of the box. I’m super happy with my purchase so far!!

Nice generator!!

We've had these generators for two summers now. We bought two so that we can run them in tandem with our fifth wheel and power the AC. So far they do a great job. They are quiet, efficient, and I like the gauges as they give readouts on the output and fuel levels so that I can see them from a distance.

Easy to use, Handy Data Center

I've used this a couple of times so far during power outages. It handles the items I need to keep us functional and is nice and quiet. The LED Data Center is something I wish I had on my earlier (bigger) generator that decided to stop working a year ago. I particularly appreciate the run time tracker which will help me stay on top of maintenance.
